The first runaway to be arrested in New England under the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law, this illiterate Black man from Virginia found himself the catalyst of one of the most dramatic episodes of rebellion and legal wrangling before the Civil War. In a remarkable effort of historical sleuthing, Gary Collison has recovered the true story of Shadrach Minkins? life and times and perilous flight. His book restores an extraordinary chapter to our collective history and at the same time offers a rare and engrossing picture of the life of an ordinary Black man in nineteenth-century North America. As Minkins? journey from slavery to freedom unfolds, we see what day-to-day life was like for a slave in Norfolk, Virginia, for a fugitive in Boston, and for a free Black man in Montreal. Collison recreates the drama of Minkins?s arrest and his subsequent rescue by a band of Black Bostonians, who spirited the fugitive to freedom in Canada. He shows us Boston?s Black community, moved to panic and action by the Fugitive Slave Law, and the previously unknown community established in Montreal by Minkins and other refugee Blacks from the United States. And behind the scenes, orchestrating events from the disastrous Compromise of 1850 through the arrest of Minkins and the trial of his rescuers, is Daniel Webster, who through the exigencies of his dimming political career, took the role of villain. Webster is just one of the familiar figures in this tale of an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances. Others, such as Frederick Douglass, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Harriet Jacobs, and Harriet Beecher Stowe (who made use of Minkins?s Montreal community in Uncle Tom?s Cabin), also appear throughout the narrative. Minkins? intriguing story stands as a fascinating commentary on the nation?s troubled times?on urban slavery and Boston abolitionism, on the Underground Railroad, and on one of the federal government?s last desperate attempts to hold the Union together. 606 $aSlaves$zVirginia$zNorfolk$vBiography 606 $aFugitive slaves$zMassachusetts$zBoston$vBiography 606 $aAfrican Americans$zQue?bec (Province)$zMontre?al$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aNorfolk (Va.)$vBiography 607 $aBoston (Mass.)$vBiography 607 $aMontre?al (Que?bec)$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSlaves 615 0$aFugitive slaves 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xHistory 676 $a973.7/115/092 700 $aCollison$b Gary Lee$f1947-$0890617 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455382103321 996 $aShadrach Minkins$91989453 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02811nam 2200649Ia 450 001 9910783681303321 005 20230327175151.0 010 $a0-19-756008-3 010 $a1-280-44048-1 010 $a1-4237-2921-8 010 $a0-19-536372-8 010 $a1-60129-704-1 035 $a(CKB)1000000000245500 035 $a(EBL)270915 035 $a(OCoLC)228123831 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000080023 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11110940 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000080023 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10095126 035 $a(PQKB)10135410 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4701749 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC270915 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0002342232 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL270915 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10103510 035 $a(OCoLC)936848647 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000245500 100 $a19910405d1992 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAcademia's golden age $euniversities in Massachusetts, 1945-1970 /$fRichard M.
